Inside the booklet, Joe Camilleri of The Revelators said: "I don't see this as a greatest hits recording, more an opportunity to pay homage to some of the great writers of our time.The Revelators were formed out of a desire to keep music alive. Some of these songs have been with us for some time - others we were drawn to because of their charm... and every word is true."[1]
Upon re-release with The Black Sorrows' Better Times, the album debuted at number 41, before peaking at number 14 on the ARIA charts in May 1993.[2]
